Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords
angry tapir writes "Worried about logging into Facebook from a strange computer? There's now a way to get into the popular social network without entering your regular Facebook password. It's called a temporary password. To use it, users must list their mobile phone numbers with their Facebook accounts. They can then text a number from their phones and Facebook sends back a temporary password that is good for 20 minutes. The service will be available worldwide in the next few weeks."

Actually, we understand it quite well. You were both homosexuals, and members of a religion that still to this day advocates executing homosexuals. Hence, you were terrified to be open about your sexuality. This is quite common in Arab culture, where men can be seen strolling around hand-in-hand while their wives are forced to either stay home or walk several paces behind like the family dog.
I am of African descent and find this post highly irritating.
Or maybe they just want to help people who login from school computers, "Free WiFi" places, and such?
Oh wait nevermind, you're right. All your phone numbers are belong to them, 9/11 was a hoax, we never landed on the moon, the titanic was bombed. *Salutes* Sir! Yes! Sir! Carry on!
If you're putting ANYTHING on Facebook that you want protected, you're a FREAKIN' MORON!
